Concurrent, a global provider of high-performance Linux and storage solutions, opened an innovation center in Midtown Atlanta, Georgia. The facility will be dedicated to advanced research and development activities.

The Innovation Center, which is expected to house over 30 engineers, features a collaborative workspace, allowing engineers to work more closely together as a team. The open floor plan fosters improved communications and supports a faster, more agile development process that is well suited to the company's latest initiatives. Engineers at Concurrent's new facility will be working on projects to advance the company's high performance storage and content delivery solutions.

According to the firm, located in Atlantic Station at 201 17th Street NW, Concurrent's offices are ideally situated to attract the region's top talent from local universities and tap into the area's thriving high-tech community.
